TLDR: The board coasts like a regular skateboard.

Remote-controlled devices like drones, RC cars, and electric skateboards can experience signal interference in areas with high wireless activity. While disconnections are rare, they can happen, and every e-skater should understand how their board responds in such situations.

Signal Loss Behavior

Parsec’s control system is designed to prioritize critical functions in the event of a weak or lost signal. The board’s response follows this sequence:

Telemetry Reduction – If the connection weakens, non-essential data like battery voltage and current draw may stop updating on the remote first. Speed data is retained longer but may also be affected.

Connection Warning – If the signal drops further, the remote will vibrate and display a warning to alert the rider. At this stage, throttle and braking remain fully operational.

Throttle Disengagement – If the connection deteriorates beyond a certain point, the board will no longer respond to throttle input to prevent unintended acceleration.

Brake Priority – If any signal remains, brake commands are prioritized to ensure the rider can still slow down safely. The board does not automatically brake upon disconnection, but as long as there’s some signal, braking remains responsive.

Full Disconnection – If all signal is lost, the board enters a neutral state and coasts freely like a regular skateboard.

In our testing, we’ve been able to trigger the connection warning at specific locations. However, we’ve never experienced a full disconnection outside of controlled conditions (where we purposely triggered it). That said, we still recommend that our customers familiarize themselves with foot-braking techniques in case of a full disconnection.
